The core loop is small enough for a capable coding agent to produce a useful local version in one sitting. For Tilda, assemble a responsive landing site from a curated block library and export it. The hard boundary is large block library, hosted forms, animation polish, and publishing convenience, plus editor polish, hosting, templates, and ecosystem.

# Tilda indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Tilda workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Assemble a responsive landing site from a curated block library, edit copy and media, preview breakpoints, and export or publish a static site to a user-owned target.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- large block library, hosted forms, animation polish, and publishing convenience
- large template marketplace
- managed hosting and CDN
- advanced CMS
- commerce and agency workflows

If those capabilities are essential, use Webstudio instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

People still pay for Tilda because the page renderer is reproducible, but customers pay to avoid becoming their own hosting and browser-compatibility team. The recurring cost buys responsive rendering, forms, domains, certificates, deploys, backups, template maintenance, and browser regressions, not just the visible interface.
